Chapter 80: Ming carved edition of "Hua Jian Ji"
Although many Qing block copies are now classified as rare books, most of them are official block copies before Qianlong. If this kind of family block copies from the Guangxu period are to be included in the ranks of rare books, you will have to wait a hundred years. almost.
Yes, this book has been appraised by Yang Jing with the ring, and it is indeed a block-printed copy from the Guangxu period. Of course, the ring also gives a definite answer, that is, Liu Zheng and Liu Shiqi are indeed from the Kangxi period.
For this kind of shopkeeper who plays tricks, Yang Jing of course has to cut the price severely, and directly offered a price of 1,000.
The shop owner’s trick was exposed on the spot by Yang Jing. Is there any way he can refute it?
is obviously gone.
Moreover, the price given by Yang Jing is not high or low, and it happens to be stuck at the price of this kind of late Qing Dynasty engraved copy. It is basically the most suitable value for this kind of book at present.
The owner of the shop obviously also sees that Yang Jing is an expert. Otherwise, they would not have noticed the trickyness of the book at a glance, and would have said the book's current price in one mouthful.
However, the boss still said with the mentality of striving for it: "Little brother, the price you gave is really a bit lower, should you raise it a bit?"
Yang Jing shook his head slightly and said, "I can't increase it. The price of this book is now at this price. Moreover, it is not an official copy before Qianlong. Otherwise, it won't increase significantly in recent years. I will buy it back. Can only be collected."
If it wasn't for some treasure in this book, Yang Jing wouldn't bother to talk nonsense with the shop owner.
Seeing Yang Jing's resolute attitude, the shop owner was also hesitant.
"Boss, how about that? I'll read a few more books. If there are suitable, I will take them away."
Hearing Yang Jing's words, the boss nodded reluctantly. Then he took out a few books to Yang Jing.
Yang Jing flipped through it and found that these books are all clear editions. It is not as good as the "Ancient Miscellaneous Talk" just now. At least the "Ancient Miscellaneous Talk" just now is still a block copy, but these books The books are all printed in movable type. Although one copy is hand-copied, it is not as good as the stolen "Ancient Miscellaneous Talk" just now.
This situation made Yang Jing sigh involuntarily: "There are really fewer and fewer good things nowadays."
In fact, there is no other way. If decades ago, the antique market in Tianqu City would still be very prosperous. At that time, although there were no professional antique cities such as the Grand Canal Antique City and Dongzi Cultural Street Antique City, but Yandiankou Antique City attracts a large number of antique lovers every time it opens.
Even people from Hebei and Jin provinces will come. With the fading of the antique market in X County and Langfang City in Hebei Province, the Yandiankou Antique City in Tianqu has gradually become the most prosperous antique city at the junction of Hebei and Shandong, because at that time those treasure hunters You can often find some good items in the Yandiankou Antique City.
However, with the relocation of the Yandiankou Antique City and the rise of the Grand Canal Antique City, there are fewer and fewer old objects on the market that can be sold. Until now, the owner of this shop even regards the Qing Dynasty book as a book. A precious collection...
Those few books Yang Jing really has no desire to shoot, so he pointed to the last book and said: "Trouble the boss to bring that book over and let me see it."
The shop owner nodded, and while taking the book out, he said, "Little brother, this book is different from the previous ones. This book is a serious book, and it can be regarded as my town. One of the treasures of the shop."
This book is the famous "Hua Jian Ji".
Yang Jing looked at the book and smiled and said, "Boss, if your book is really a plain book, then it is really good."
"Of course it is a Ming edition book, I can assure you of this."
Yang Jing nodded noncommittal, and then he focused on the book.
This is the seventh volume of "The Collection of Flowers". It seems to be very old, and it is not very well preserved. It can barely reach the seventh grade.
"Hua Jian Ji" has a high status in the history of Chinese literature. It is a collection of poetry compiled during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. It is also the first collection of literary poets in the history of Chinese literature. There are ten volumes.
"The Collection of Flowers" includes the first year of Emperor Wenzong of Tang Dynasty Kaicheng to the fifth year of Tianfu, the emperor of the later Jin Dynasty, Wen Tingyun, Huangfusong, Wei Zhuang, Xue Zhaoyun, Niu Qiao, Zhang Bi, Mao Wenxi, Niu Xiji, Ouyang Jiong, He Ning, Gu Jing, Sun Guangxian, Five hundred poems by eighteen poets, including Wei Chengban, Lu Qian, Yan Xuan, Yin E, Mao Xizhen, and Li Xun, collectively and typically reflect the subjective orientation, aesthetic taste, The physical style and artistic achievements truly reflect the full picture of the transformation and development of early Ci from the folk state to the literati creation.
Moreover, Huajian Ci standardized the literary genre and aesthetic characteristics of "ci", and finally established the literary status of "ci", and had a profound impact on the creation of poets in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
In the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, there were a large number of literati hand-written "Hua Jian Ji", and there were also many official printed editions in the official dynasties, which is a set of books that have been widely circulated.
In the Ming Dynasty, "Hua Jian Ji" had many internal editions, that is, royal editions. Of course, home editions and workshop editions were indispensable. Just like a set of ten volumes of the Song version of "Hua Jian Ji" reproduced by Suzhou native Lu Yuanda, a high price of 640,000 was sold at the Guardian Spring Sale in 2014, and the average auction price of one volume reached 64,000.
Of course, although the Ming edition book is not as valuable as the Song edition book, even the most common Ming edition book now costs thousands of dollars. If it catches up with the Ming edition book that can be classified as a precious ancient book, one It is easy to register over fifty thousand. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
This book is obviously not the Song version of "Hua Jian Ji" engraved by Lu Yuanda, but when Yang Jing opened it, he couldn't help but feel refreshed.
This book is also a printed edition, but it is obviously not an official edition. It should belong to a family edition or a workshop edition. It is also a printed edition of the Northern Song Dynasty edition. This can be clearly distinguished from the structure and layout of the book.
The seventh volume of "Hua Jian Ji" mainly contains two poems of the great masters, namely Gu Jing and Sun Guangxian. There are a total of 50 poems in the whole book, among which there are 37 poems by Gu Jing and 13 poems by Sun Guangxian.
The first poem in the opening chapter is one of Gu Jing's "Huanxisha".
"Spring is charming and hate Zhengzheng, but I don't want to return home, and the breeze is light with pear blossoms.
There are two swallows outside the curtain, the green poplar is weak before the threshold, and the small screen dreams wildly. "
Although it is not an official block copy, the print of this book is pretty good, and this edition is still in a rare thin gold version, so Yang Jingda is more interested.
Generally speaking, the stereotypes in the early Northern Song Dynasty were mostly in European style, and the fonts were thin and slender. Later, the fonts gradually became majestic and simple. In the Southern Song Dynasty, most of the printed editions were in Liu style. This reflects the different aesthetics of different eras.
You can use thin gold body to make carved editions, even in the entire Song Dynasty, it is rare. The thin gold body carved books that have been passed down to the present are mostly in the hands of museums or large collectors. Here you can see a reprinted Song version of the thin gold body Ming. The block copy is extremely rare.
After turning a few pages, Yang Jing could already be sure that the book was indeed printed, but when he turned a few more pages, his face changed a little involuntarily...
